On Wednesday, October 27th we had our Ward Halloween Party/Trunk-or-Treat. It was the first time everyone was able to wear their costumes for this year.
Maylie was beautiful Queen Anna in her coronation gown. She was super excited about wearing a bit of makeup that night!
Landon was Percy Jackson. I drew the logo on an orange shirt for "Camp Half Blood", we made the shield out of an old pizza pan and gold spray paint, and we bought the sword from Party City!
We were able to squeeze one more year of this adorable Dumbo costume for Hudson. He really loves elephants since his lovey is an elephant creatively named "Ellie" so this costume was perfect!
Nolan also reused a costume from last year (actually the last TWO years) as he wanted to be Jim from Troll Hunters once again! I'm all about saving money and reusing costumes!
Abby wanted to be Katniss from "Hunger Games." We were able to find the jacket and pants at a thrift store, Abby made the bow, we borrowed the arrows and sheath from Nolan (just had to spray paint the sheath black!) and she had the perfect hair and smudged up coal face to go along with it. We also added a homemade Mockingjay pin to complete the look!
Our ward had members make "Ofrendas" in memory of our loved ones who have passed away to help celebrate "Dia de los muertos" along with Halloween this year. This is what I came up with to honor my parents!
They also had games and crafts for the kids for a while and then we all went out to trunk or treat. I made up 80 treat bags and gave out every single one so there was obviously a great turnout for this activity this year!
